[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 492921, member: 7449"] Brainy is spot on. Mazaks and M/S's are about as nice as they come. So are Deckels if you have a spare half million laying around. There's two types of CNC machinists. Those who have crashed a machine and those who will. Count on it and when it happens pray the worse that happens is a "ka chunked" tool holder or insert. Rapid override is a beautiful thing. I too use MCX for programming. Although I do all my lathe stuff longhand as I loath searching through tool libraries to find the exact tool I have in the machine. Just easier for me to type the stuff. (lathes are pretty easy, especially simple slant beds with no live tooling as you only work in 2 axis's) It's a powerful tool, just be careful when you start. C.
